I said it before and I'll say it again, the USC fans in my section (basically the whole section) had a lot of praise for Nassib during that game.Re-watching USC now (wife isn't happy). In our first drive Nassib checked down to his THIRD option twice. Thats comfort. That's poise. And, yes, that's talent. We're not losing to phlucking Toledo tomorrow. Not happening.
****!! Now we're on defense. Sigh...
Yep. Perusing the USC message boards following the game, the consensus seemed to be that they all felt Nassib was the best QB they have faced this year by a pretty wide margin.I said it before and I'll say it again, the USC fans in my section (basically the whole section) had a lot of praise for Nassib during that game.

Why would the players give a rat's behind??Still think the distraction of the ACC stuff and the fact it's a noon game will hurt us. But I think we pull out a squeaker.

He is doing well. I remember the last time we played Wake Forest in Winston Salem. I was there. I believe it might have been 2005 or 2006. ANYWAY Perry Patterson looked horrible. Whether he was or not, he had completely no blocking at all. He was basically running for his life. I could not believe how far Syracuse Football had fallin. If you told me back then that this year we would still be in the game against USC at the half, I would have called you crazy. We have come a long way no matter what anybody thinks. We will beat Toledo tomorrow. Go CuseI said it before and I'll say it again, the USC fans in my section (basically the whole section) had a lot of praise for Nassib during that game.
Defense wasn't even that bad honestly. Take away the 15 yard penalty from Sharpe and they're punting -7, and take away the reception the refs gifted USC in the 3rd quarter and it's 4th and 4 and they're punting -7 again. Take away the Nassib fumble inside their 20 and likely +7.
The more I look back at that game the more I see how we p*ssed away alot of opportunies (some ref assisted). A handful of plays shaped that entire game honestly.
Hopefully the players are as salty about that game as I am becoming and come out with a fire lit under them from the start.
Whatever it is, take the over.
The 'late hit' on Sharpe and the 'pass interference' on Scott were bs calls. Both kept drives going. I was at the game and none of the Trojan fans around me could believe they were called.
Wow. O/U 56.5
